Wow I will strike that, never thought about even trying it, lol..I just pulled the motor in my wagon last weekend to do them though it needed every seal imaginable...if the time ever comes again I will do it like that then. I removed the motor from the sedan just with a 1/4 inch ratchet set, screw drivers and a "custom"offset 12mm wrench for the flex plate that was basically it. I love subaru.
